Highly-rated overnight sitters - Wharton
“Oren and his family and pups treated Kakashi so well! He was spoiled with fun having a playmate all week. I was sent a ton of photos and updates so I never had to worry! I will definitely be using your services again, and maybe even add some additional play date services moving forward knowing how comfortable he was with you! Thank you again so much!”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped us out so much in a pinch. Highly recommend and would definitely board with her again! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a peace of mind his entire stay.”
“This was our first time using a service like this and im super happy we did!! Natalie was awesome and very informative and patient with my hyper loving boy! He had so much fun and I got routine updates on how he was doing! Will definitely use Natalie again!!!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. In college, I worked at a boarding and training service for dogs. I currently have three of my own, and love being a dog mom. I treat my dogs like they are my children, and I enjoy being around animals all the time! I am a teacher, so during the summer months I have a lot of availability. I am looking to help out those who are busy or work during the summer. I can drop in to let out your pet and play with them for 10-15 minutes. For walking services, I will spend 30 minutes walking, and then play for 10-15 minutes. I have a spacious home and yard, but it is not fenced in. I always go outside with the pets and supervise them. We live in a safe neighborhood. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized; they enjoy being around other animals.
“We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Emily is the absolute BEST!! Hands down, the best sitter we could ask for while we travel. She’s attentive, engaged and genuinely cares deeply for Harry. Thank you doesn’t say enough!! Harry is disappointed to come home… so you know it was good time for him :)”
“Angellynn was absolutely great! She took wonderful care of my 8-year-old dog and treated her just like she was at home. Ginger loved all the attention she got from them. They played with her and loved her. I will definitely be taking Ginger to stay with Angellynn again. Highly recommend her!”
“Otheus did a great job with my 2 doggos. He kept me updated throughout the day on how they were doing and when we came to pick up the boys the next morning, both of the boys seemed to enjoy being around him. He has a great setup for the dogs, and we plan on using him again in the future.”

About: I've spent years caring for dogs for friends and family. I've looked after dogs of all sizes, personalities, and activity levels, including puppies who are potty training, senior dogs, and dogs recovering from surgery. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet's unique routine. Whether your dog needs exercise, extra attention, medications, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time, but my schedule is split throughout the day, which allows me to be home for pockets of time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This flexibility gives me plenty of opportunities for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, attentive care while fitting their needs into my daily schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe environment. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, whether that includes puppy training, medication schedules, senior care, or simply extra playtime and affection. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease
About: Although I’ve never been paid to care for an animal, I assure that I’m well aware of how to take care of puppies to elderly dogs. I have two little fur balls of my own, they are brother and sister and I’ve been lucky to have had them since they were puppies. They both are truly bonded and I cannot imagine not having them around. I also have had bunnies that I adored so much. I never used to like reptiles until my boyfriend’s bearded dragon. He is absolutely adorable and I love love love when I come over and I can see him! It brings me joy getting to know all sorts of different pets and how similar they are to people. I do love all pets but a dog has always been my favorite animal out of them all. I love how they’re never like the other and the love they give without wanting anything in return. At any function or family event, if there’s a dog, I’m more than likely going to be around him/her all day lol. I'm always so happy when I see dogs come into my work, they truly make my day. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always wanted a dog to call my own, a dog I could have adventures with, a dog who I could spoil endlessly, a dog to call my best friend and be there every step of the way. I am 24 and am waiting to get a house when I am ready, so for now I’d love to help out you and your fur baby until that time! Since I am currently working part time I thought this was the chance to make some money doing something I love, taking care of dogs! My schedule is not consistent but I normally work 3 days a week. My calendar will always be up to date so you know my availability! If you have any questions, always feel free to ask! Thank you;) When it comes to anyone’s animal, I will always treat them like my own. I will always be paying attention to what they do and how they react in situations so nothing happens. Takings walks, giving meals/medicine, cleaning up after them, making sure they aren’t in any danger, looking after them at all times, and being able to keep them comfortable with me is always going to be my priority.
“Very pleased with Haleigh. When I wasn’t able to take my dogs to her for the initial meet and greet, she instead came to my house and brought her rescue pup to make sure our dogs were compatible. She monitored all dogs’ social behavior for over an hour just for good measure. She was very quick to correct any concerning behavior. I appreciated that she was able to take my pups on short notice when the previous sitter canceled on me last minute. During the visit itself, she sent me pictures and commentaries to update me on their wellbeing, or to inform me of any concerns. I trusted that she knew how to keep her dogs and my dogs safe. They were kept indoors nearly all times. I’d recommend her services.”

“Chelsie is our most beloved, dependable, professional and thoughtful cat sitter. We have 8 cats + we foster strays. Cheylsie has cared for our cats several times this year and we highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond to ensure our cats receive the best care.”
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for cats of all personalities, from shy rescues to playful kittens and seniors needing extra patience and I’ve learned how important it is to understand each cat’s unique routine and comfort level so they feel safe while you’re away. What sets me apart is my attention and genuine care; I don’t just stop in to feed and leave, I spend time making sure your cat feels comfortable, whether that’s through play, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine, treating every cat like my own so you can have peace of mind.
“Oren did an amazing job. We had two drop-ins, and he played ball with our dog. He was so tired when we got home. Sent photos and even brought his cute little girl. Which I am sure our big dog was in heaven with her.”
“Monica was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, always responsive, and kept us updated the entire time. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation because we had a great feeling about her from the very beginning. When we came back, the cats were happy — and that’s all we could ever ask for. She also sent us very cute pictures throughout the stay. Thank you so much, Monica!”
About: My family dog found my first cat while we were out on a walk. He was a little guy that still needed bottle-fed and I fell in love with cats from that point on. He was my heart cat and was with me through many ups and downs in my life and the birth of my son. The cats that have come into my life have all been strays, with two being born in our bathroom six years ago! I currently have 3 cats and one has had medications for urinary issues so I can administer meds. I also understand the importance of making sure litter boxes are clean so cats want to use that space instead of any other.
“Hanna was amazing, attentive and our kitties just loved her! We came home to happy, healthy, fed and played with kitties and we are so thankful she took the time to come by multiple times a day. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s committed and communicative, Hanna is 100% that gal! We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to have their babies looked after.”

I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.
About: Throughout my senior year of high school I spent time volunteering at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked a lot with cats and dogs. Specifically when caring for the cats, I clean their litter boxes, cages, and filled their bowls. Following the cleaning routine I had plenty of time to interact with the cats in their own ways as every furry friend has their own personality. At home i

I have experience working with special needs dogs and love senior dogs. I work full at the YMCA with a flexible schedule and would love to take care of your pets! I am available 7 days a week.

I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds. Roughly an acre is securely chain link fenced and gated for plenty of outdoor exercise, weather permitting.
About: I have had pets my whole entire life and helped my dad and stepmom with their dog rescue. I love being around animals more than people ;-) Currently not working and wanting to only do things that bring me joy. Animals do that for me 100% and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard for my Bailey, our 1 and half year old Saint Berdoodle who absolutely loves everyone. I walk her with a vest because she will take off on me. My cat, Jack, is an indoor cat and only got out one time. He was so scared but I just grabbed a towel, cuddled him to me, and he calmed down immediately.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wharton
“Jenn watched my puppy for the first time today and did a fantastic job! He has a somewhat complicated medical condition - she read about it before we met and handled it wonderfully. He was so happy (and tired) afterwards, and he loved playing with the other dogs in the house. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Animals are our passion. Dogs over 1 must be fixed. We’ve loved many makes and models and enjoy getting to love yours just like you would. We have a beautiful home and plenty of laps. It is our daily routine!! Our world revolves around the pets we are caring for while they are here. We ensure the upmost personal care is given. We offer doggy daycare and overnight stays. Dogs have free roam of our 5500 square foot home. We have a fenced in yard, we have a doggy play facility and crates if they prefer time away from play.
About: What sets me apart is heart-led care—personalized attention, reliable routines, and genuine love that makes every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. Rest assured your pet gets everything they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and individualized attention, ensuring each pet receives consistent care, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I offer a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of safe roaming, a calm pet-only home with no other free roaming animals or children, and a clean, non-smoking environment.

“Novalee (aka: Brooke G.) is an amazing dog sitter and we cannot recommend her more! On the days our dog was scheduled to be with her, we needed early drop offs and flexible pickup times - both of which she easily accommodated. Our senior dog had the absolute BEST time hanging out with Novalee and her husband and their puppy crew (he slept like a baby after coming home because he had so much fun playing!) We absolutely 100% recommend Novalee and will definitely utilize her in the future when we need to go out of town!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Wharton
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.
About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.
About: Hi! I’m Hanna, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from the University of Tennessee and a strong passion for all kinds of animals. I currently have a dog (an Aussie mix) and a cat of my own, and I’ve spent years pet sitting for friends and family. In addition to personal experience, I’ve also worked professionally as a zookeeper at both the Detroit Zoo and Zoo Knoxville—so I’ve had hands-on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes! Whether you're looking for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting, I’m happy to help. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days and times. Feel free to message me—I’d love to connect and see if I’m the right fit for you and your fur baby! I currently do Rover full time Monday-Sunday and have very open availability. I am new to the Findlay area and looking to accept new clients. I will treat your animals as I would treat my own fur babies. I am extremely picky about the care for my animals so I like to make sure that my clients are comfortable and well taken care of.
About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.
About: I grew up watching a lot of Animal Planet, back when Animal Channel was Steve Erwin, Jeff Corwin, Meerkat Manor, and various Vet shows, and I've always had cats around me at home and at my grandparent's. I've also walked and cared for dogs for family off and on over the years. I promise to do my best to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I can't do any boarding or stay overs as I have two of my own cats I need to love on, but I'm currently part-time, so I am fairly flexible to make time for your fur babies otherwise. I fully understand that some pets want space from strangers outside the necessary while others need someone to hang out with them and tire them out. I'm comfortable to providing whatever your pet needs.
About: I've taken care of many different dogs since I was a kid. Family friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I am a recent college graduate so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am more than willing to adjust my plans to ensure your pets always have the care they need! I have cared for many different pets with all sorts of medical and behavioral needs. Whether your pets needs round the clock care or just a nice long walk while you're at work I will make sure they get what they need.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.
About: With 25+ years of experience with pets and livestock I have had the privilege of having a house full of dogs. With two of my own currently I have had the opportunity to care for many dogs over the years and understand how important their care is when your away for an extended period of time. Knowing the absence of parents can be a stressful time for animals I offer comfort and care to ease the stresses of change in routine. My daily routine includes early mornings, outdoor activities, working full time from home and have the flexibility to host a pet or do drop-ins during the work day. At this time I am perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Accounting online and spend most of my free time around home. I understand the comfort and safety of animals is the upmost priority when caring for my own as well as others. Being sure they are on the property or secured when on walks as well as keeping them away from other animals and people that they might not be familiar with to avoid any conflict.

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and am currently mommy to one dog, four cats, two goats and a sassy pet cow. I am located on a three acre farm on the outskirts of town in Marysville, Ohio, and offer services to most surrounding areas. I offer boarding, daycare, house/farm sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, livestock/exotic care, and more! I can assure you that your pet(s) could not possibly be in better hands! They will get all the love and attention that I would give my own ....and then some. I look forward to caring for your furred, feathered, hooved, and scaled family members real soon! :) My life and schedule is centered around my animals. I own a trailer rental company and can alter my schedule however is needed to make sure all animals in my care and on my schedule are well cared for. I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds. Roughly an acre is securely chain link fenced and gated for plenty of outdoor exercise, weather permitting.
“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I have had pets my whole entire life and helped my dad and stepmom with their dog rescue. I love being around animals more than people ;-) Currently not working and wanting to only do things that bring me joy. Animals do that for me 100% and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard for my Bailey, our 1 and half year old Saint Berdoodle who absolutely loves everyone. I walk her with a vest because she will take off on me. My cat, Jack, is an indoor cat and only got out one time. He was so scared but I just grabbed a towel, cuddled him to me, and he calmed down immediately.

“Oren and his family and pups treated Kakashi so well! He was spoiled with fun having a playmate all week. I was sent a ton of photos and updates so I never had to worry! I will definitely be using your services again, and maybe even add some additional play date services moving forward knowing how comfortable he was with you! Thank you again so much!”

“We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Emily is the absolute BEST!! Hands down, the best sitter we could ask for while we travel. She’s attentive, engaged and genuinely cares deeply for Harry. Thank you doesn’t say enough!! Harry is disappointed to come home… so you know it was good time for him :)”
“Angellynn was absolutely great! She took wonderful care of my 8-year-old dog and treated her just like she was at home. Ginger loved all the attention she got from them. They played with her and loved her. I will definitely be taking Ginger to stay with Angellynn again. Highly recommend her!”
“Otheus did a great job with my 2 doggos. He kept me updated throughout the day on how they were doing and when we came to pick up the boys the next morning, both of the boys seemed to enjoy being around him. He has a great setup for the dogs, and we plan on using him again in the future.”

About: I've spent years caring for dogs for friends and family. I've looked after dogs of all sizes, personalities, and activity levels, including puppies who are potty training, senior dogs, and dogs recovering from surgery. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet's unique routine. Whether your dog needs exercise, extra attention, medications, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time, but my schedule is split throughout the day, which allows me to be home for pockets of time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. This flexibility gives me plenty of opportunities for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, attentive care while fitting their needs into my daily schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have plenty of exercise, attention, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe environment. I take the time to learn each pet's unique needs, whether that includes puppy training, medication schedules, senior care, or simply extra playtime and affection. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease
“Very pleased with Haleigh. When I wasn’t able to take my dogs to her for the initial meet and greet, she instead came to my house and brought her rescue pup to make sure our dogs were compatible. She monitored all dogs’ social behavior for over an hour just for good measure. She was very quick to correct any concerning behavior. I appreciated that she was able to take my pups on short notice when the previous sitter canceled on me last minute. During the visit itself, she sent me pictures and commentaries to update me on their wellbeing, or to inform me of any concerns. I trusted that she knew how to keep her dogs and my dogs safe. They were kept indoors nearly all times. I’d recommend her services.”
